[Nfb-krafters-korner] Free birthday stuff

[Paulette Vickery]

Thanks Cindy. I had a great birthday and was exhausted by the end of the
day. I think that having my in town family members, consisting of 13 adults
and 9 children ten years old and under, had a lot to do with that. Smile. I
am really enjoying what I got from others for my birthday, today. I am
burning a birthday candle and I use some wonderful foaming hand soap several
times today. My sister gave me some compound butter, which has lemon, garlic
and herbs in it. I am really looking forward to using it on meat, very soon!
But now, I think I am ready for a post birthday nap.

Hi all,

 

Today is my 61 year old birthday! So, as a birthday present from me to all
of my safety pin beading, knitting, crocheting and other crafting  friends
here on this list, I want to tell you what I just discovered.

 

If you type in, free birthday stuff, in Google, you find all sorts of free
things you can get on your birthday. I haven't looked at them yet, but I am
going to do that right now.

 

I love my birthday. I just love to celebrate it all day long in little ways
starting with my very own special birthday air that I breathe when I wake
up. I guess part of this all day special birthday feeling comes from when I
was a child. I attended the Illinois Braille and Sight Saving School, they
have changed there name now, but that is what it was then. Anyway, on my
birthday I would get a phone call from my family and a gift in the mail, but
that was usually all, unless I was home, every now and then. So, I decided
that instead of feeling sad because nobody really focused on my birthday in
the manner to which I would like to become accustomed, I would do it myself.
I have now developed my birthday celebration into an art form.

 

This  morning, I got up, loaded the dishwasher and pretended that the
loading just didn't happen, poured myself a diet coke into a cut glass
tumbler from my china closet, got out a delicate small hot chocolate china
cup and saucer from the same china closet and am now looking forward to
having some luscious, creamy decadent hot chocolate later in the morning. Of
course, I am also going to peel some birthday carrots and wash and wrap some
birthday potatoes for twice baked potatoes for a birthday meal with the
family later this evening. I also told my cat that he has already given me 3
birthday presents because he jumped into my lap 3 times this morning without
me trying to coax him to do so. I will try to celebrate the entire birthday
like this. It will be lots of fun!

 

So, if today is someone else's birthday on this list, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Come
and celebrate with me! What do some other people like to do on their
birthday? Let's just make this a double celebration! Let's celebrate all of
today's birthdays and, let's have a happy unbirthday celebration for
everyone else! Does anyone have a pattern for a safety pin beading, knit or
crochet birthday cake with candles?

 

Paulette
